Answers :

Not entirely, The optics of the camera combines with the lens in certain lights will alter the hue of some colors. Like a sound of almost equal tone cancelling out similar frequency sound. You have heard of Tinnitus ( ringing in the ears) when you apply a tone close to that frequencdy it cancels the sound Silence!Similar things can happen through a lens... the refractory curve is slightly different to the mirror and so colors can distort. Power shot is not a top professional camera it is more point and shoot so does not come with the ability to set different kelvin settings (Itemperature) to compensate for this problem. Hope that helps you somewhat

Pink pictures the other day.... I was using my camera and it started showing lines through the image, the image quality was getting worse and worse. I figured needs new batteries. So I put new batteries in it and now it takes pink pictures! How strange my evergreen pictures look in fushia color! I tried and tried for a couple of weeks, I checked all the settings, even took the batteries out and restarted, but still pink! all shades of pink! Here's where it really gets odd, I got my camera

Hi all -- This is a physical problem with the way the lens is seated. I didn't figure this out myself; I was told it by a camera repair shop guy who also owned a 945 and had the same problem. Basicly, you adjust the lens, relative to the body, by d ...

We found an old Sony Cybershot DSC - S30 camera laying around in our office. I was going to let my young son play with it as he would like a digital camera. I kept getting the memory stick error message. I ordered a new memory stick PRO Duo for it with a 4GB disk. It still shows the error message. Neither the old 4MB stick or the new Duo stick will allow the camera to format the memory stick. Any ideas??

Old pictures over ride new pictures after deleted from camera. After removing pictures from the camera card to my computer and then take a new picture, The old photo shows up on the computer when view the canera card.

I have a powershot S400. similar to one of the previous posts, the camera first started showing a pink hue in the center (1/3) column of the viewer, which would occassionaly show up on the snapshot. Now that problem has digressed considerably to distortion.
first the center 1/3 of the image on the vieing screen will start to take on a pink hue. then the same area will appear to "melt" with pixels of the original image streeking down.
sometimes I take a picture and it comes out perfectly

Pink Foto's My Fujifilm S5000 is about 4 years old. And suddenly the foto's on the display, but also on my computer are pink. It doesn't matter what setting i chose they are always pink. Is this problem solvable? How much does it cost?

This is an unfortunate problem with batches of the image sensors. Small amounts of moisture seeps into the inside of the chip and ruins them. The cause is well known to the manufacturers of the many cameras affected. It usually takes the camera well ...

Pink tinge When I shoot a picture in bright sunlight, the picture always has a pink tinge to it. I have tried putting in manual mode, and adjusting the shutter speed and the f setting but I just can't seem to to get this to stop. I have also tried to adjust the white balance. I am new at doing this and I would like any help you can give. Thank you.
All of the pictures have a very distorted color. They all have a pinkish-violet color. They look awful. I tried resetting by scrolling to the 'reset

Check the settings first, and ensure that the white balance is not wrong.A pink/purple picture means usually a problem with the camera digital sensor. ...

My cannon a 530 says that it has a memmory card error, and it shows memmory card locked momentarally at bottom of screen, i tried to unlock with the slide on the card itself, but that did not help. i put a new memmory card in and it shows the same. i also noticed a watch type battery next to the aa batteries, could that battery be the problem ? i have never changed that battery and this camera is several years old.

No that's not likely the problem. The new card is probably the issue, especially if it is 4GB or higher. There are several possible causes for "memory card locked", "memory card error", or "no memory card". Some include trying to use of a 4GB SDHC c ...

The camera assigns an old file # to the new pic. so the wrong thumb pic shows up, but when I open the picture is is the correct one. tried formatting card, reseting camera, and new firmware. any ideas?

We had about 150 pictures on the memory card, took about 13 this weekend, showed them on the camera, but we think battery was low now the new pictures show as a file error. if I look at on a PC I can see the files but cant preview, also the size is about 800KB when old ones are about 3Meg.
Have tryed several recovery utilitys but none see currupted photos.
I think it is a bad index.
Card is a sony 8GB stick

Image cluoding I was noticing a clouding in the central area of all of my pictures when using my Olympus c700. Opun close examination of the lens it showed what appeared to be an abraided or deteriorated area on the interior of the lens. Is it possible to get a a new lens for these things or polish it up with something? I know Olympus is not servicing them anymore and they are discontinued. Thanks, Mark

Based on what you report the camera would need to be serviced. Regretfully all parts, accessories and repair service have been discontinued due to the age of the camera. \015\012You may refer to the yellow pages for local camera repair centers ...

I have an Pentax Optio 60, and whether I put in brand new batteries, or recharged lithiums, it always shows either yellow or red "battery warning". Sometimes, when I put them in, it briefly shows "green" in the battery indicator, but then quickly changes to "red" or "yellow". I really like the camera, but this is a real pain. Can you help?

That is perfectly normal , your Pentax, as written on manual, is designed to work with special ...

My Canon A95 camera screen when turned on is black. when a picture is taken it shows up as pink and black lines. The other pictures on the memory card show up just fine. It seems it just happened all at once> Is there any hope for my camera or should I just get a new one? Thanks, Janice from Illinois

Hi Janice!Unfortunately it sounds like you have a bad CCD image sensor. However, Canon issued a recall to address the issue on your model and a few others. It's hit or miss as to whether they are still honoring the recall but it is most ...

Canon rebel xt eos shows ERR CF. What do I do now?I tried a new flash card but still got the same error message. When I try to preview pictures I have already taken the screen says ¨no image¨. My camera worked for a couple of pictures at one point following this initial error message and then acted up again, showing err 02. It then quickly reverted back to old error CF message.

Check that the pins in the camera that connect to the CF card are clean and not bent. You will probably need a good light and a magnifying glass to see into the card slot. If you can see a pin that is bent you could try straigtening it. BEWARE- turn ...

Hi, the first pictures i took (6.0) are always on the camera. Every time I downlod new pictures, old are there as well. I deleted ALL pictures many times. But the first pictures are always there. Even though I don't see them on camera.
Thank you for your help!

Are you saying that even with no card in the camera, you can still see the original pics? If so, that means they're on the internal memory. To get rid of them, with no card in the camera, go into the menu and find "format" and follow the on-screen in ...
